The Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) is a complex law that protects railroad employees from the financial burden of injuries. Workers are also able to claim damages against their employer even if they are not covered by workers compensation.
FELA is significant because it shifts the responsibility for accidents that occur among railroad workers from railroad workers to the railroad companies. This makes the railroads more accountable for providing a safe workplace and giving their employees appropriate safety training and supervision. This also allows railroad employees to recover more in damages than they would receive for filing a typical workers' comp claim.
Under FELA the injured worker has the right to sue the railroad for damages when they can prove they were injured due to the railroad's negligence. The worker must however, be able to meet a strict burden of evidence. This is due to the fact that FELA is an absolute comparative negligence law.
